Summary:A textile knitting machine has an array of elongated knitting needles (1), each with central tab (3) with a foot (18) extending from the short side (16). The foot is inclined with respect to the tab at an angle alpha forming a notional plane (E). The angle chosen facilitates accurate setting of the foot with respect to the needle lock if the needle (1) and tab (3) should tilt slightly within the needle bed guide. The angle alpha compensates for this tilt, resulting in linear contact between the foot (18) and a guide. In a further embodiment, the foot edges (19, 20) are thicker than the remainder of the foot. An independent claim is also included for a textile knitting machine equipped with a bank of commensurate knitting needles.
